Obvious Solution to the Zell Miller Problem

[Sandpiper]

Moments before the turncoat gets ready to speak at the Republican Convention, the DNC should have a press conference ready where they formally announce that Zell has been ejected from the party.

For the next step.

12. Excellent! I hope they also put in the PR

the dollar amount of support this guy has been receiving (STEALING) from the Democratic party! By the way, who's paying Zell's expenses for this dog and pony show?

3. great idea

: )


we could say

"Hey, we asked him politely to reconsider several times......times up!"

4. There is no mechanism for 'ejecting him from the party'.

I understand the sentiment, however. :)

7. Why can't he be ejected from teh conference?

Just because it's never been done, at least in recent memory, doesn't mean they can't strip him of his committee posts, etc. Let him wrangle with his good GOP friends for decent committee posts, while we put another Democrat in his chair.

The end.

8. That's a different matter altogether. n/t

10. Yes there is

DNC Bylaws Article One:

Section 5. Resignation or Removal of Members.

(a) A member of the Democratic National Committee may resign by written notice to the Chairperson of the National Committee, and such resignation shall be effective immediately.

(b) After notice and opportunity for public hearing and upon grounds found by the National Committee to constitute good and sufficient cause, the National Committee may remove a member by
two-thirds vote of the National Committee.

(c) Failure of any member of the National Committee to declare affirmatively his or her support for the Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees within thirty (30) days after the adjournment of the National Convention shall constitute good and sufficient cause for removal.

13. I seriously doubt he is one of the 440 DNC members

If he were and they kicked him off, he would still be a democrat. I believe the only qualification to be a dem is registering as a dem in your home district.

14. I hope they've got the papers ready to hand him as soon as

he steps off the podium!

5. Wilde E Coyote wearing the Sheep covering....Zell Liar is a Repug....

through and through. When's he up for re-election? The dems shouldn't give him a dime and actually help another democrat run against him!

[MadAsHell]

9. IIRC He is not running for re-election ...

6. No, no, let's have a ball with this

Let's use this ridiculous schlumpf to laugh and laugh and laugh at the pathetic republican party.

DNC is already starting. "Zig Zag Zell" -- I love it!

This is the best representative the GOP could get to nominate Bush? A washed-up, back-stabbing, butt-kissing opportunist like ol' Zell?

Hahahahahahaha!!!

Ladies and gentlemen of the voting public, may I direct your attention to the latest, living evidence that the Bush campaign has NOTHING to offer you but petty sniping and shop-worn slogans... cheap shots... and a desperate need to distract you from Bush's long list of failures and utter lack of accomplishments.

Oh, Zell. Stay healthy, keep safe. Can't wait to see you up on stage!
